Canvas Critics Choice Restaurant Awards

Canvas, the NZ Herald’s lifestyle and food magazine, in conjunction with ResturantHub, released the results of their inaugural Canvas Critics Choice Restaurant Awards this weekend. Out of the approximately 6500 restaurants in the Auckland region, Beast and Butterflies was selected as part of the Top 5 restaurants for the awards. Kim Knight, prestigious Auckland restaurant reviewer, visited and reviewed 50 establishments in 2017, and selected her top 5 based on the food ranking (9 or above) and how memorable the experience was. Her final word on Beast and Butterflies: “a hotel restaurant that utterly raises the bar for hotel restaurants”.
